1.68 is what percent of 16.981 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 16.981 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 100% equals 16.981, so we can write it down as 100%=16.981.
4. We know, that x% equals 1.68 of the output value, so we can write it down as x%=1.68.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 100%=16.981
2) x%=1.68
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
100%/x%=16.981/1.68
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for 1.68 is what percent of 16.981

100%/x%=16.981/1.68
(100/x)*x=(16.981/1.68)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
100=10.107738095238*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (10.107738095238) to get x
100/10.107738095238=x
9.89341028208=x
x=9.89341028208

now we have:
1.68 is 9.89341028208% of 16.981
